Use Google Translate API for FREE

My company subscribed to Google Apps for Education. So, I though that access to Google Translate API would be included in our contract... but, that's not the case :(

Hummm... hummm... let's hack this for free.

Prerequisite is to have a Google account (even a free gmail account). What we will do is the create a sctipt on Google that will use the translate api freely and publish it as a REST web service which has the same JSON output format as the original.

Hello! If you are working on software translation projects, I may recommend to evaluate https://poeditor.com/. It is an online localization management tool equipped with great features (API, translation memory, Gengo integration, automatic translation, Bitbucket and GitHub integration) and a user-friendly interface that will automate your workflow.
